| 1996 | £38,000 | £80,140 | 654 |
| 1995 | £37,800 | £82,171 | 544 |
In cash terms the typical CA2 home went from £37,800 in 1995 to £150,000 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 83%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CA2 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+31.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−6.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 42% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £300,000 against £81,000 for a flat, 3.7 times the price.

What CA2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.4% | +3.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.1% | −0.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in CA2
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 565 CA2 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 963 sales a year before the financial crisis and 617 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market CA2 is
Among the 28 measurable districts of its area, CA2 ranks 23 by median price: towards the affordable end.
What tenants pay around CA2
For renting purposes CA2 sits in Cumberland. The ONS average private rent there is £666 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £496 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,071 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Cumberland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£666 a month is £7,992 a year, which against the £150,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.3%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Bedroom by bedroom: CA prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CA area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £220,000 | £300,000 (+36%) | £430,000 (+43%) | £523,000 (+22%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
